Progressive activists are would-be goons embracing mob rule
2023-04-20
[NYPOST] The tape of a "strategy session" exposes progressive opinionated hairbags as a bunch of would-be goons.

The Post acquired a tape of the April 11 virtual meeting called by Housing Justice for All to brainstorm passage of the "Good Cause Eviction" statewide rent-control bill.

In it, reps from VOCAL-NY, Citizen Action, the Democratic Socialists of America, Make the Road and Communist Party USA Housing suggest everything up to trashing ("redecorating") the offices of politicians who resist.

Another lowlight: Talk of smashing trash cans at the home of an advocate on the other side.

Lest anyone think this was just blowing off steam, DSA member Andrew Hiller and others recalled a "favorite moment" hounding Real Estate Board of NY President Jim Whelan: "So we caught him eating lunch by himself, and we got a crowd of like 50 people to like, you know, start chanting ’shame’ and we walked past him. We like literally booed him all the way down the hall and Albany and he like went and like hid behind security. So that was a really good moment."

Another boast of successful action: Threatening protests at people’s homes.

"Senator Andrew Gounardes. He wasn’t on Good Cause, but we ran him down and told him if he signed, we wouldn’t come to his house. So, I guess he didn’t want us there, so he signed," boasted Renette Bradley of Housing Justice for All.

Threats of force against politicians.

Mobs chasing down the opposition, screaming at them.

These are not democratic tactics, but blackmail and bullying — mob rule.
